A Barcode For Shredding Junk RNA
Biochemists identify detection signal for breaking down excess ribosomal RNA
31-Aug-2015 -
A growing, dividing cell uses most of its energy store to make its “protein factories”, the ribosomes. An important player in their “assembly” is the exosome, a molecular shredding machine that breaks down excess ribonucleic acid (RNA). Researchers working with Prof. Dr. Ed Hurt at the Heidelberg ...
